George Leonard Sensei Passes Away
Posted 1/06/2010 11:59am [from Jun Akiyama]
I have received a report that George Leonard sensei of Aikido of Tamalpais has passed away. Born in 1923, Leonard sensei was the author of aikido-related books such as "The Way of Aikido: Life Lessons from an American Sensei" and "Mastery" as well as many non-aikido books and articles. He held a fifth dan in aikido and taught at the Aikido of Tamalpais dojo in Marin County, CA. An interview with him may be found here.
My condolences go out to his friends, family, students, and loved ones.
